No, no, no no no. It isn't unfair at all. I mean, Reyes is a professional footballer, and knows what he is talking about. Therefore, when he says Scotland and San Marino are about the same, we should listen to him. He's absolutely right.

Spain is a funny one. Quite how they can be so spectacularly unsuccessful takes serious effort.

To what level are you going to take this living in the past, Andreas? Are you going to wax lyrical about the Kaiser? Tell us how Bismarck is the world's best leader?

Still, given that we have established the anthropological link between the Gemrans and the Scots, we can clearly see the reasons behind Germany's international decline. Today, out on the first round, tomorrow, we'll see "German football team: "Just like Andorra" headlines.

Given the fact that the brilliant English team did last around 24 hours longer than the clearly worst team Germany ever sent to a big tournament, let alone the infamous statistics (you know 1 cheated-0-0 vs 3-4-3) I'd wait ..oh let's say another 20 years and at least 2 big wins for England until I started boasting, dear Banco

Currently the word for England is: Just like Spain...and that is not very flattering for your boys.

And I'll go back as far as 2002...that's enough for you guys
As for the obvious link between German and French outcasts and several generation if incest and the founding of England ..I'm not sure if you really want to discuss these historical facts...do you?

That depends largely on the definition of "great party"...if you're talking about 60 guys and not one single girl hanging around together getting blindingly drunk as fast as possible...yes, you might be the best, I agree!

Slightly unfair, but I do feel with the way the Scottish national team are playing they should be lower in the official rankings than they are. Still, Spain aren't exactly a great team, they have some good players but I don't think they've ever been as good as anyone makes them out to be.

Re: We can save all the worlds problems if we simply focus all our hate and anger on San Marino!

I disagree ! In the true a.net spirit of conflict, mutual suspicion and blind impassioned bigotry, I shall start a End San Marino Extinction campaign (or ESME for short), to fight this evil capitalist globalisation attack on an innocent and non-threatening independent state with wonderful duty free shopping !

Not to forget: GP San Marino has been since years the first European GP of the season...now doesn't that count for something???

Besides: the Americans love to attack by Air Force....in the case of SM (hey, cool abbreviation ), collateral damage would be huge, they'd flood Italy from the Alps down (Kirkie listen up!), or even worse, given their excellent geographic knowledge, maybe they'd sink the Brits ("whaddaya mean, Tower Bridge NOT in San Marino????")

: RE: Besides: the Americans love to attack by Air Force Is there a Chinese Embassy in San Marino ? If so, stand well clear...
